Introduction
Most motor applications require the use of remote control devices to start and stop the motor. Magnetic contactors (similar to the ones shown below) are commonly used to provide this function. Contactors are also used to control distribution of power in lighting and heating circuits.
Types of contactors
• Power contactors
• Auxiliary contactors
• Capacitor duty contactors
• Hoist Duty contactors
• Solid state contactors

Multimotor Applications
-
Many applications require more than one motor. In some instances, one drive
can supply two or more motors. When this happens, the current rating of the
mot...
